In this paper, we suggest a virtual machining system that can simulate cutting forces of ball end milling at the stage of part design. Cutting forces, here, are estimated from the machanistic model that uses the concept of specific cutting farce coefficient. To this end, we need undeformed chip thickness which is used for calculating chip load. It is derived from the Z-map data of a CAD model. That is, chip load is the height difference between the cutting tool and the workpiece at an arbitrary position. The tool contact point is referred from the cutter location data. On the other hand, the workpiece height is acquired from the Z-map model of a CAD data. From the experimental verification, we can simulate machining process effectively to the slot and the side cutting of ball end mill.

We have developed a human-sized BWR(biped walking robot) driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gar ratio. Each leg of the robot is composed of three pitch joints and one roll joint. In all, a 10 degree-of-freedom robot with two balancing joints was developed. For the purpose of autonomous walking and higher performance, we improved the previous developed BWR. We improved the motor drive efficiency, designed the ball screw actuator in a modular type, and simplified the electric wires. Through this modification, we achieved better performance in walking.

We developed a new type of human-sized BWR (biped walking robot) driven by a new actuator based on the ball screw which has high strength and high gear ratio. Each leg of the robot is composed of three pitch joints and one roll joint. In all, a 10 degree-of-freedom robot with two balancing joints was developed. A new type of actuator for the robot is proposed, which is composed of four bar link mechanism driven by the ball screw. The robot overcomes the limit of the driving torque of conventional BWRs. The BWR was designed to walk autonomously by adapting small DC motors for the robot actuators and has a space to board DC battery and controllers. In the performance test, the BWR performed sitting-up and down motion, and walking motion. Through the test, we found the possibility of a high performance biped-walking.

Generally a TV broadcast video of ball sports is composed from those of multiple cameras strategically mounted around a stadium under the supervision of a master director. The director decides which camera the current view should be from and how the camera work should be. In this paper, such a decision rule is based on the 3D location of ball which is the result of multi-view tracking. While current TV sports broadcast are accompanied with professional cameramen and expensive equipments, our system requires few video cameras and no cameraman. The resulted videos were stable and informative enough to convey the flow of a match.

This paper focuses on the issue of force synchronizing control for the injection servomechanism of injection molding machines. Prior to the controller design, a virtual design model was developed for the injection mechanism with an AC servomotor-ball screw. A synchronizing controller is designed and combined with the PID control to accommodate the mismatches between the real plant and the linear model plant used. Due to the plant uncertainty, the stiffness and the damping of the mechanism were considered. From the tracking control simulations based on the virtual design model, it is shown that a significant reduction in force synchronizing error is achieved through the use of a proposed control scheme.

This paper presents an useful technique for assessing the volumetric errors in multi-axis machine tools using the kinematic double ball bar. This system has been developed based on the volumetric error map which describes the 3 dimensional errors of machine tools. The developed system inputs the measured radial data of 3 different planes, respectively XY,YZ,ZX, analysing the volumetric errors such as positional. straightness, angle, and squareness errors, etc. The developed system has been tested in a practical machine tool, and showed high potential for the error assessment of multi-axis machine tools.

The mechanochemical milling of Mg and $Mg_2Ni$ alloys were carried out to examine the enhancement of hydrogen storage properties of Mg alloys. The hydroge characteristics of the ball-milled products were evaluated with a Sievert-type apparatus and electrochemical test. Various intermediate compounds were obtained by chemical reactions induced during the ball milling of Mg of $Mg_2Ni$ alloys with C, Ni, $Ni_2Cl$ and $Ca_2Cl$. The system of $Mg_2Ni$ with 10 wt% C improved markedly the kinetics of hydrogen absorption, while the hydrogen capacities were practically unchanged. The hydrogen storage alloys such as Mg-Ca can be successfully.

The best simulation condition for the fiber collimator that uses ball lenses was investigated. This kind of fiber collimator can be used in a Micro-Optical-Cross-Connects(MOXC). MOXC is composed of collimating ball lenses, micro mirrors and single-mode fibers. In order to design a MOXC, it is very important to calculate beam path, beam radius, divergence angle that determines the insertion loss of the MOXC. Since the beam profile from the fiber facet is not exact Gaussian profile, it was found that the simulation condition in which beam waist exists on the fiber facet, ignoring Numerical Aperture(NA), gives best agreement with the experimental results. Beam radii were measured with conventional knife edge method.

Aluminum-based composites containing $C_{60}$-fullerenes are produced by hot rolling of ball-milled powder. The grain size of aluminum is effectively reduced to ~100 nm during ball-milling processes, leading to grain refinement strengthening of the composite. Furthermore, $C_{60}$-fullerenes are gradually dispersed during ball-milling processes and hence the strength of the composite increases with the volume of $C_{60}$-fullerenes. The composite containing 10 vol% $C_{60}$-fullerenes with a grain size of ~ 100 nm exhibits ~1 GPa of compressive strength.
